For sale is my commuter bike, inspired by traditional English 3-Speed bikes but in a contemporary build. Bike was originally a BLB single speed purchased new from Brick Lane Bikes in August 2016. Original owner of 5 years. Always kept indoors, ridden a handful of times in the rain. Have done a few hundred miles at most. Bike was only used for my short commute on nice days. I have a few other bikes to ride, hence the super low mileage.
Bike was in its original single speed build until Spring 2020, when I had it rebuilt with a Brooks B17 saddle, Nitto Bosco handlebar (size 58, heat treated), Brooks leather grips, and a Sturmey-Archie 3-speed hub. New 28mm Schwalbe Marathon tires with less than 50 miles on. No expenses spared. Just the parts would easily cost £400+. Will include original brown BLB saddle and bullhorn handlebar.
Nearly perfect condition. Bike took a fall a few months ago due to bad parking, resulting in some scratches (shown in pics) but otherwise no blemishes and is solid mechanically.
56.5 Top Tube
62 Seat Tube
19cm Head TubeI'm 5'11/181cm and the bike fits fine. I can put my foot down without getting off the saddle. Very upright position, no stress on the back or shoulders. As it's a big frame, raising the seat post will allow anyone up to 6'4 to ride it comfortably.
It's no featherweight but still significantly lighter than comparable commuter/cruiser bikes. 3 speeds can cover almost all terrains in London. Would make a stylish daily commuter.
£600 obo.

I have a red Corsa Extra frameset with original fully chromed fork. Custom geo I think? See below. Frame was repainted at the factory in the 90s, no decals all hand brushed. Little touch ups here and there, VGC from a meter away.
TT 57.5 cm cc
ST 59.5 cm ct / 58.5 cm cc

PM sent RE: Corsa 01.
No derailleurs for 18 years. Now I'm all about gear ratio and shifting feel...
